I launched at the LCPOA ramp around 6:00 this morning and may have talked to you?

I made the run up North past West Bay and fished the main lake reeds on the east and west sides. Caught 9 swimmers flipping soft plastics. It was a grind and rough, back on the trailer by 10:00. Looking forward to cooler weather and a calmer day without the pleasure boat gangs peep


Yep that was me. Did I ask about your rope you tie off to the dock when you put your boat in the water by yourself?

Brandon are the bigger fish up against the reeds or in them? Seems like you can catch an infinite number of fish out on the flat surrounding the reeds but none of them are bigger than 13 inches.

I went out this morning about 8am. It was still raining lightly but the lightning had stopped. I caught a couple of largemouth in the 1-2 pound range. They were both shallow. One was on a spinnerbait and the other was a baby brush hog on the edge of reeds. A school of sandbass moved by me and I caught about 5 sandies in a matter of minutes which is always a fun break. I also saw a HUGE carp jump completely out of the water by some reeds.

Fishing continues to get better at EM as the temps drop a little. It's nice having a full lake going into the Fall - I wish the water clarity was a little better. I'm still throwing senkos and flukes but changed up the color on the senko from previous trips and found some nice fish. This one weighed in at 6.12.

That's a monster, great catch! I was out today from 6:30am to 1pm. Water temp got down to 78 later in the morning. It was really muddy up north. Down south was not quite as muddy, but still dirtier than normal, probably because of yesterday's rain.
I started off up in a shallow cove at sunrise with a topwater spook and flipping a worm but got no bites. I moved locations and got a couple of large mouth off the reeds west of the island flipping a blue worm. Then I got about 4 sandbass on that patch/island of reeds south of the big island. I flipped docks at the south and got nothing.

At least the weather was really nice today. The roar of the pleasure boaters was gone, but replaced with an even worse roar of 2 sea planes flying around and around over the water. A couple of months ago one of those guys buzzed right over me just above the tree tops.

I went out today (Sunday) really early and started about 5am in the dark. Caught 3 before sunrise. 2 were off the rocks around the Fort Worth boat club. Each was about 2 lbs. Then a 1 pounder in Flemming slough. At sunrise I tried a topwater popper and Spook but got nothing. Then I went up north into the reeds and got a little 1 pounder, then another one that felt bigger and broke my line. Then went back south to the banks and got 2 more about 2 lbs off the bank. All were caught in less than 3 feet of water. Weather was really nice and a little windy.

I had a great day today. Went out early this morning and caught 2 largemouth around 2 pounds. Then in the afternoon caught a 4.2 pounder in a cove on a secondary point on a crankbait in about 10 feet of water. Then before sunset took my 10yo son and my neighbor's 14yo son out and caught 8 more on crankbaits. My neighbor's kid caught almost all of those. He LOVES to fish and is really good for his age.

Here's my 4 pounder:

I just got off Eagle Mountain and man it was REALLY windy and rough out there today. 2 foot waves even though no boats were out. Water temp was 71. Got 7 bass in the southern coves but nothing over 2 pounds.

Good day to be throwing crankbaits! I caught well over 15 and I even doubled up and caught 2 on the same crankbait at the same time! They're schooling up feeding on the shad and are very healthy.

Nice one! I got most of mine on a shad colored square bill. Then a couple on a blue rage craw T rigged.
I just got permission from the House Boss to go back out tomorrow morning. I hope it's not as windy because I think I'm gonna start really early before sunrise. But no way I want to be in rough water in the dark.
